House of Dreams is a 1963 American psychological horror film directed, written by, and starring Robert Berry, with Pauline Elliott, Lance Bird, and Charlene Bradley in supporting roles.[2]
Development
House of Dreams was conceived by 22-year-old Indiana University Bloomington student and Decker native Robert Berry,[4] who set the film in and around a real abandoned house in Decker, Indiana.[5]
Casting
The cast of the film was sourced locally.[5] Actress Pauline Elliott was originally from England, and was living in Warsaw, Indiana at the time of filming.[5] Lance Bird, 21 years old at the time of filming, was a student at Indiana University Bloomington.[5]
Berry had not originally intended to star in the film, and cast an actor out of California for the lead role, but ultimately took over the part after he dropped out of the project.[5]
Filming
Principal photography took place in the summer of 1962 in the abandoned residence, with some additional photography occurring in Vincennes.[5] Filming began on June 10,[2] and took place almost exclusively at night.[5] The film was shot on a budget of $10,000.[3]
